The Southeastern Louisiana Lions football program, 1940–1949 represented Southeastern Louisiana College (now known as Southeastern Louisiana University) as a member of the Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference (LIC) and Gulf States Conference (GSC) during the decade of the 1940s. During this time, the Lions were led by four different head coaches and had an overall record for the decade of 31–32–4. During this decade, the Lions played their home games on campus at Strawberry Stadium in Hammond, Louisiana.

Between 1940 and 1942, Southeastern was led by three coaches: Lloyd Stovall, Jesse Fatherree, and Arthur Morton. Under this trio of coaches, the Lions had an overall record of 12–16–1. After the War, Ned McGehee served as head coach through the end of the decade. He led Southeastern to an undefeated season and LIC championship in 1946 and to an overall record of 19–16–3 for the rest of the decade. After the LIC disbanded after the 1947 season, Southeastern joined the GSC and remained a member of the conference through their 1970 season.
